    - Parse event for databound controls in CF Hi all, I have a textbox bound to a nullable field in a DataTable, and capture the parse event in a fairly standard way to allow for null values: private void newBinding_Parse(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.Value.ToString() == string.Empty) { e.Value = DBNull.Value; } } This appears to work fine for standard windows forms but in the compact framework, the original value of the field keeps appearing everytime the user attempts to set the textbox to an empty string. I know the event handler is definitely being called (from step through debugging) and the event argument value is being set to DBNull but somewhere between that and setting the actual value on the bound DataTable, it reverts back to the original value. Anyone have any ideas as to what I am missing? Thanks in advance, Minh Tag: MSI - CEMGR Opens but no install Tag: 30863

    - Beginner Connecting Two PPc's question - Please Help Me I have multiple ppc's connected via wifi to a lan.I also have regular PC's on the same network, but these are connected with cables. This network is completely cut off from outside sources. The regular PC's have static IP addresses while the PPC's are dynamic. I want to write a small program that will allow the ppc's to see a list of ppc's currently connected, and then to click on one of them and to browse and transfer files off each other from a set "shared" folder. But I want it to work like this: When a ppc connects, it is to send its new IP address to "server pc" that keeps track of the current IP addresses the PPC's have. It will then send the current IP addresses of the other connected PPC's to the unit, which will then when it attempts to click on a particular unit on his screen will set up a Direct Connection thr the LAN, bypassing the "server pc". All I want the "server pc" to be used for is just to keep track and send out the current IPs. You could say that I want to sort of model this after Iâ??M programs. Can you please tell me how would i go about this, I am pretty much a newbie regarding programing, so if you could please explain to me all of the steps required clearly. Also which language would be the best to use for this. Thank you ChinWan Tag: MSI - CEMGR Opens but no install Tag: 30852

    - Dataset question Hi, I've got the following problem : I made an api which is referenced by program1. In this API i have a method (called Retrieve) in which I create a Dataset and fill a DataTable with data out of a DataBase. This method returns the DataSet. While calling this DataSet I allso supply two integer values (for search purposes in the sql-query in the method). My problem now is that when I call this method in program1 and try to assign the returned value (thus de Dataset) I get the following error : An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'Dictionarytest1.peccAttributeValues.Retrieve(int, int)' I use this code for assigning : DataSet myDataSet = Dictionarytest1.peccAttributeValues.Retrieve(AttributeId, Level); Like i've allways did when I assign like an integer or whatever... Any idea what the problem is about ? Or if its better to implement something else ? If it's helpful I can always post some code... Tag: MSI - CEMGR Opens but no install Tag: 30802

    - ContextMenu and OnMouseDown in custom control Hi, I am stuck with the following problem: I created my very own ListView type of control for the Pocket PC. I did override OnMouseDown in order to select the tapped item. Basically this works. However, as soon as a ContextMenu is attached to my control the OnMouseDown is no longer fired when tapped, but only when the stylus is removed (i.e. when I would expect OnMouseUp to be fired). Even worse, it is not fired at all when the stylus is held down and the ContextMenu actually pops up. This behaviour leads to the problem, that I do not have a chance to actually select the item that is underneath the popped up ContextMenu. I also tried to select the item in the Popup event of the ContextMenu, but Control.MousePosition does not return the position actually tapped (it returns the last position that was tapped). Thus, I have no chance to really determine where the user tapped on the display. Any ideas? Andreas Tag: MSI - CEMGR Opens but no install Tag: 30800

    - XML Encrypting/ Compression Hello, We are developing a CF application that uses a web service to return xml. Does anyone know of a tool that can compress, encrypt and encode the xml so that it can be sent via a web service, and then decompressed, decrypted and decoded at the client app? There seem to be plenty of components that either compress, encrypt, or encode but not one that does all three. Thanks in advance, Simon Tag: MSI - CEMGR Opens but no install Tag: 30793

I set the reference to copy locally and I can see it there... ideas? - Zack P.S. One thing worries me and is a half-related question: I can only deploy my project to the Windows CE device if I tell VisualStudio to deploy to a PocketPC device.

    - .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Preview http://www.ftponline.com/reports/vslivesf/2004/yuan1/ "A key crucial feature for all mobile development platforms is the need for tight device integration. The software platform needs to leverage all functionalities provided by the underlying device and network. In the .NET Compact Framework 1.0, access to telephony and a native Personal Information Management (PIM) database is available only through native method call wrappers using Platform Invoke (P/Invoke). Version 2.0 will support standard managed APIs for all Pocket Outlook clients, including e-mail/SMS, contacts, calendar, and to-do lists. You can also make phone calls and access call logs directly from the managed code. Plus, Microsoft has planned a new location API for both GPS and operator-based location retrieval."

    - Changing web service endpoint. We are developing in-house .NET CF applications that use web services. Our development environment includes development, testing, training, and production servers. Consequently the developers create applications that point to the appropriate development server. This would not be a problem on non-.NET CF development because the .NET Framework supports the URLBehavior property that will cause the web service proxy class to look for its web service URL in the app.config file. However, since .NET CF development does not support he System.Configuration namespace that option is not open to us. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can accomplish this server switch? Currently we have to change the TargetURL of the web service reference; recompile the code; and deploy it to the proper mobile device.

    - OpenNETCF connection manager.... again -_- I can't understand why, today my little connection manager component works no more. This component uses OpenNETCF connection manager to establish a GPRS connection. One of the "features" of that library (the opennetcf one)(and of the underlying microsoft APIs) is that you can't disconnect if the gprs connection is used by some other application (as says Neil Cowburn in a previous post). Even with this "feature", my component did disconnect if the connection was just dialled, and not used. Tihs was true until yesterday... This morning I came to work, and, ta-dan! the disconnect method works no more, no way to disconnect even connections just dialled. I can't understand why! Can anyone suggest me some parameters i should check about this problem? thanks (I dial a GPRS, exclusive connection and then try to disconnect it using always openNETCF connection manager) Francesco Tag: MSI - CEMGR Opens but no install Tag: 30696

    - OSGI.NET??? ORIGINALLY POSTED TO microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework NEWSGROUP my letter is about industrial application of .NET Framework and .NET CF. Particularly, I want to talk about creating something like the OSGi Framework (www.osgi.org, based on Java) for .NET platform. Are there any developers/sw-architects who would like to join me? My current focus is a life cycle management module. I need to install assemblies dynamically to Global Assemblies Cache (GAC), execute their Start method (if exists) and on demand stop them (execute Stop method before) and uninstall. The project is going to be open source. I'm thinking about opening a SourceForge account and CVS. So, please, let me know if you are interested or have any questions/ideas, here or by email. Brief description of OSGi Framework follows... ---8<--- The OSGi service platform delivers an open, common architecture for service providers, developers, software vendors, gateway operators and equipment vendors to develop, deploy and manage services in a coordinated fashion. It enables an entirely new category of smart devices due to its flexible and managed deployment of services. The primary targets for the OSGi service platform are devices such as set top boxes, service gateways, cable modems, consumer electronics, PCs, industrial computers, cars, smart handhelds and more. These devices that implement the OSGi specifications will enable service providers like telcos, cable operators, utilities, and others to deliver differentiated and valuable services over their networks. The OSGi framework and specification facilitates the installation and operation of multiple services on a single services platform device (again. examples being, set-top box, cable or DSL modem, PC, Web phone, automotive, multimedia platform device or dedicated residential gateway). The specifications delineate Application Programming Interface (API) standards for a platform execution environment. Services platforms must support these APIs in order to conform to the OSGi specification. The APIs address service cradle-to-grave life cycle management, inter-service dependencies, data management, device management, client access, resource management and security. Using these APIs, end-users can load network-based services on command from the service provider while the platform manages the installation, versioning and configuration of these services. The OSGi Alliance is committed to evolving its specifications to meet emerging market needs. Based on identified requirements, OSGi Expert Groups -- which address architecture, core platform, and vehicle services -- develop extensions, new service APIs, and new features to simplify programming, and enhance user administration and configuration management. OSGi specifications are publicly available. Additionally, the OSGi Alliance fosters development tools and resources through its website and other means and enables service providers and device manufacturers to leverage content and services from a multitude of developers and content developers. I started my research on this subject almost 1 year ago. It looks like .NET have virtually everything what OSGi uses from Java, even some things (e.g. assemblies) are there out of the box, so you don't need to reinvent them.

    - running app from storage cards recommendation Hello, I'm having problem running an application from a SD card on a iPaq 2210 , searching the archives it seems this is a known problem and AFAIK there is no solution for it yet :( So I"m looking for alternatives, is anybody running an application from a storage card? if so what kind of card you are using on what PPC model. The reason I need to run it from a storage card is to be able to run the application, even if the battery gets discharged.

    - Does WinCE 5.0 support ASP.NET? HI,all I know the Windows CE 4.2 .net doesn't support asp.net, but how about the future version CE 5.0?, Does it support asp.net? thanks, EMVP Tag: MSI - CEMGR Opens but no install Tag: 30612

I read the popular MSDN article about creating an MSI file
for installation/distribution via ActiveSync. I have been
successful in creating an MSI file. When I install the
file - the CABs are copied to my PC - and CEAPPMGR.EXE
launches - displaying the programs loaded on my Pocket
PC. However - I'm never prompted to add the new program.
It does not appear on the list of programs to install.

I think it has something to do with the setup.ini file -
although I feel that I've looked over that in detail.

Any suggestions why CDAPPMGR lauches but does not install
my file/application/cab?

thanks.

Do you mean: Developing and Deploying Pocket PC Setup Applications
(Ralph Arvesen) ?

It assumes that Setup.ini resides in the same folder as the DLL and CAB
files. Beside this you A) have to close ceappmgr.exe before, B)
setup.ini its path must exist and C) select Release Configuration from
within the VS-IDE.

You may debug it with the following settings (InstallerComponent:

External Program is
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\InstallUtil.exe

Arguments: CustomInstaller.dll

Working folder is ....\Source\VB\CustomInstaller\obj\Debug
